Nature is a blessing along with art. Wish there was an easy button, ahh...one day an editor..but I look at it this ..way learning new skills all the time while getting to share and connect ..big plus. We just need remember to take time out when you need it. ❤❤❤

Thanks so much Mimi. It was fun doing it. So glad you enjoyed the demo. Repeating the same subject is great for really understanding new materials. Let me know how you get on if you give it a go. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your comment @diannedupuis2960. Will definitely be creating more videos on oil pastels in upcoming videos. Are there any particular pain points or aspects of these 2 mediums that you would like me to explore? Much love ❤️

Hi @shayantani8 , I am using Windsor & Newton pastel paper (Greys Selection) for the pastel pieces. For the gouache piece am using heavyweight rag drawing paper by the Bee Company. I really loved the results on these papers. Happy creating!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so very much. So glad you liked the video. Happy creating.❤️❤️❤️

Hi Susan, so glad you enjoyed it! I had so much fun doing them. Happy creating.❤️❤️❤️

Great approach @janefairweather-r7v. I tend to do this with really detailed pieces with lots of moving parts . Happy creating! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Its One Step Closer by Aakash Gandhi. Amazing artist, I just love his music!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much Mimi. Glad you liked the drawing, it was challenge, but glad I pushed my boundaries. I am also exited about taking the little creature further .. it might be fun to create a narrative...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou so much @mcblakemore, so happy to hear you liked all three. Start with experimenting with different tools like Q tips, applicators, paper towel etc. as you go along you' find the one(s) which work best for you. Congratulations on starting your pastel journey. Much love.❤️❤️

Thank you so much @milenabdesign. So glade you liked my video, it warms my heart sooo much! Sending lots of love!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much @knockedoutloaded279 . I am sooo encouraging you to continue on your journey, it can be challenging at times , but you're going to learn so much. Tell your story and show off your skills, its so very satisfying. Sending you lots of love and wishing you much success....Keep going! ❤️❤️

You're very welcome @Robyn19fnq so glad you were inspired by this video. Why not experiment different types of paper even inexpensive ones and see which effect you like best, once you are more confident try your pastelmat again. P.S. Some watercolour papers do have more sizing than others , I like the idea of sanding the coating off a bit. Again try experimenting with some inexpensive watercolour paper. Much love and happy creating.❤️

Thanks so much Mimi. This was pink card stock paper , I taped it down on a bit of canvas board. Taping down on hardboard will also do the trick. Hope this helps ❤❤❤❤

That's wonderful Mimi, we are thinking along the same lines. I have some more portraits and figurative drawings planned, it might be fun to explore varying methods, styles and techniques. 👍❤️❤️❤️

Hello Mimi always nice to connect with a fellow Canadian artist. Love Tarra Lu and her great insights. I totally agree with you -TH-cam is quite a journey: its often challenging but what a wonderful way to keep in touch with your creative side. Sending much love to you Mimi. P.S. What’s been your biggest lesson so far?”

@@OpalInspired I have so many really. For TH-cam: what I would recommend to someone who's about to start or just has...be patient. This is not a quick race...and if you approach it as such, you'll be disappointed and give up too soon. Or...if you somehow have a ton of knowledge and are doing all the right things, but are pushing HARD, you'll be heading straight for creators burn out... As an Artist: don't compromise who you are and what you love to do. The right people will find you, don't bend yourself into spaces you don't fit. Who are you creating art for to begin with? Your journey is uniquely yours...

You are so on point! Beautifully put Mimi, beautifully put!!! ❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much for your lovely colourful comment @user-us5fe9fc5n ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you♥♥♥! You are so very welcome @karenluke-mannarino3426 , so glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I totally agree good paper can be quite expensive..... a paper video on its way. In the mean time experiment with different kinds of water colour papers, they have good weight and often nice textures to play with. Happy creating.♥

You're very welcome @judibinks! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for those lovey words @littleforest1166.Soo much appreciated. ❤❤❤

Hi @sharongates4699 , things are also getting more and more expensive here. A great activity here in spring and summer are garage and yard sales. I have found so many useful pieces for my creative endeavors, things that people just don't want anymore. My latest was a large desk top easel for just a few dollars. Have a look at what you have and see how you can repurpose them also. Happy hunting and happy creating. Much love. P.S. Curious to know where you are in the world? ❤❤❤

Thank you so much @morganniciomhair8284 for you beautiful heart felt comment. So glad you liked my video and found it useful. Sending you lots of love and blessing also. ❤ P.s. I agree with you on plastics. The good news is that Steralite manufacturers state that their products are recyclable (back into hard plastics) and PVCs, Latex, Teflon, Phthalate Chemicals, fungicides, Bishphenol A (BPAs), or antibacterial chemicals are not used.😀

@OpalInspired That's great news about the plastics.I did not know that.I was inspired to start organising my art room because of your video( note to self,I don't need 20 cardboard boxes because they might be usefull!Thank you Opall.Wishing you many happy times in your new space.

So exited to hear that you are inspired to organize your art space @morganniciomhair8284.Enjoy your new art space!❤️

You're very welcome . Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
